The Century Church Theatre stage repairs are officially moving forward! This project is a major milestone, launching an exciting new chapter for how we present live theatre in Hillsburgh and Erin. We are kicking off the repairs with a prep day while the weather is still good, and we need your support.

We are seeking 6 volunteers to help flame-retard lumber on Saturday, October 17th from 10am to 3pm.

This is an outdoor job involving moving lumber and applying a water-based fireproof coating. We will provide all PPE—just bring your energy and enthusiasm! If it rains, we will move the work to Sunday, October 18th.

This work is vital for keeping our construction schedule on track. If you can help us out, please reply to Robert Bell [email protected]. Or call him with questions at 519-939-7122.

Thank you for everything you do to keep the magic of CCT alive!
